A Word to the Wise

 (ID: 2286)

The author of Ecclesiastes tells us more than thirty times that life is meaningless under the sun—and it can certainly feel that way. From birth to death, our days are often marked by apparent repetition, drudgery, and insignificance. In this message, Alistair Begg helps us to confront this reality and to understand how this Old Testament book can be read in light of Jesus. When we view the world with eternity in mind, life “under the sun” begins to look very different.
